The case occurred in Moscow in 2002. I am 23 years old. So, I got sick with the flu, I was sick for 2 weeks, then went to work. After 2 days again the fever, the head hurt heavily, the back. The next day, the temperature dropped to 37, 5, but there was a crazy headache and vomiting. I went to the district, the ambulance came 2 times, everyone looked closely, squeezed anesthetic, anesthetic and said - complications after the flu, for some reason no one offered to the hospital, the figure knows, maybe because the temperature was not high. 2 days have passed, I am getting worse, almost straight to glucose. Mother calls an ambulance again, the brigade comes, well honestly, whether it is from a good body, or if it is already subjects. The doctor said so aside, trying not to breathe on us, but amber on the whole room. And here this doctor looks at me for 2 minutes and says not very sober: she has meningitis, immediately to the hospital. Diagnosis: purulent meningitis, in the hospital said a few more hours and it's all. Droplets, dozens of injections, there was no living place at the fifth point. 3 weeks in the hospital, then the sanatorium. It has been recovering for a long time, but it all went without consequences.

That brigade saved my life.
